Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit!!!

Posted on

The August Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Time for Cake! It was perfect since August is my birthday month! Although, I did not have as many candles on my cake as the one card has! LOL It’s all good, it’s not about the number of candles but the joy you have each year! ๐Ÿ™‚

Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card was my favorite!!! The copper/rose gold fork is sooooooo amazing!!! It looks real and it’s so shiny and fabulous! I loved it! This card was rather simple and I love the fun printed layers! You could always mix and match the “layers” or use the same print for each layer.

The colors of this kit are different and fun! The shades of blues and pinks go together so well and I love the soft look! All the different balloons in this card make it fun and great for any birthday! There are also balloon stamps so you can always recreate this card with stamped balloons in any color combination!

All the candles on the cake, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is fun and different. It’s got lots of folds all together and held with the rose gold twine onto a card base.

Here it is all opened up showing off lots of candles. There are a few candles that are popped up too! It’s different and fun and would make a fabulous card for a special “milestone” birthday!!!

Painted Petals Kit!!!

Posted on

The July 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit is called Painted Petals!!! It was all flowers and I LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!! Of course you all know how much I love flowers! What I loved even better about this kit was the greetings though!

Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Of course I love the pink because it’s PINK! But check out that amazing greeting and how wonderful it is to make, send, and receive a card like this! The splatter, the flowers, and the watercolor look are just so fun and elegant. You could even change out the greeting for wedding, bridal shower, baby, birthday, etc.

July 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Again, this greeting is sooooo amazing. Wouldn’t you love to get this card?!?! I can’t wait to send it out and wish I had a million of these. The little sequin jewels are beautiful and add that hint of shine and pop to this card that I love!

After seeing this card, are you singing the song that goes with this greeting?! I know I do every time I look at it. You are very welcome if it’s stuck in your head now. LOL I love the greeting and those orange / peach colors! I just can’t get enough!

Did you get this Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin Kit?!? I hope you loved it as much as me! Be sure to sign up for the Birthday Kit in August before the 10th! The August Kit includes not 1 but 2 stamp sets. Woot Woot! It’s like Stampin’ Up! knew it was my birthday and is celebrating me! ๐Ÿ™‚

Life is Sweet

Posted on

The June 2024 Paper Pumpkin is called Life is Sweet! This kit was fruity and full of sooooo many goodies. Die cuts, glimmer die cut words, pearls, vellum, and so much more!!! It also included the NEW In Color Shy Shamrock! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription that you can enjoy a craft kit sent right to your door. These kits include everything you need to make the project (except scissors). Many of the kits are greeting cards but occasionally they are treat boxes, gift packaging, etc.

Life is Sweet June 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I think my favorites were the oranges! Something about that detailed Shy Shamrock die cut really grabbed my attention! I didn’t end up using the pearls on this card. Honestly, I didn’t like the pearls because I felt like they were a little peachy/vanilla looking and the glimmer greetings were very white/shimmery. To me the two looks clashed but that’s just my opinion. Let me know in the comments below if you thought it worked and liked it or you felt the same as me.

Lemon Cards June 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

You all know I love lemons so this is my second favorite card style! Of course, I also have to mention that the envelopes were super fun with the scallop flap and gorgeous coordinating colors! LOVE IT!!! I really struggle with Congrats cards because I feel like the greeting is super specific. Wedding, new job, retirement……I just feel like I don’t know how to use a congrats card. Feel free to give me suggestions!

It is just crazy how bright white the glimmer greetings are and apparently my lighting. You can hardly see the Miss You that is on these cards. I have many friends and family members who live all over and I just don’t get to see them as often as I would like so this is a card style I can use a lot of. Perfect for a random #happymail card which I love sending out!

Be sure to get signed up for the July Kit before the 10th so you can enjoy the fun of Paper Pumpkin! Perfect thing to do indoors on a hot summer day! Great for taking over to a friend or family member’s house too!

The Best There Is

Posted on

The May Paper Pumpkin Kit was called The Best There Is. I totally should have posted these weeks ago but #summerschedule. Things are crazy nowadays! I’m just glad I got it completed so I had Father’s Day cards ready to go!

The Best There Is Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

You all know how much I struggle with masculine cards so I love it when kits help me out! I also love it when Paper Pumpkin Kits prepare me for upcoming holidays! The woodgrain look of these cards is super fabulous and that tree stamp will be perfect for many occasions and seasons!

May 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I used the Father’s Day greeting on all of these cards so I could use them for friends and family! Again, the colors, woodgrain, and simplicity of these cards are nice and fun!

Father's Day Cards, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These cards were all fairly easy to create. Claire and I had lots of fun creating them! It was nice that she then had a card to give Brad as well! I had Alex sign one of her cards as well! Just perfect! Now I need a refill kit so I can do birthday cards! LOL

Which card is your favorite from The Best There Is May 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit?!? Be sure to sign up for Paper Pumpkin so you can get the August Kit!!! If you want a kit sooner than that, be sure to check out the Stampin’ Up! Kit Collection which has LOTS to pick from!!!

Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Posted on

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a small box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc. The April 2024 Kit was called Delicate Wings and it was gorgeous!!!

Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This was probably the easiest card in the kit but it is my favorite! I love how the wings pop forward and the stunning gold!! Of course the greeting melts my heart and I just love that too. This card would be perfect for a sympathy card or just a card sent to a friend or family member letting them know you care.

April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is my second favorite because I love the the colors. Again, the greeting warms my heart and I feel like I could send this to a lot of different people in my life. A friend who’s husband is traveling for work and she’s single parenting the kids all week. Friends who have a kid graduating high school and worried about that next step. Someone who is looking for a new job. That person who recently lost a loved one. Someone who has recently found out these have been diagnosed with something. I’m telling you, nothing beats a handmade card knowing someone cares about you.

Subscription Card Kit Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

While this is the last one I’m sharing, it certainly is not my least favorite. I honestly LOVED this kit very much! I love the gold accents (and I’m technically a silver/white gold girl)!! Butterflies are so beautiful and uplifting in my opinion! These greetings are ones that I will hold out and use often! They are just so heart warming!!!

Claire's Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Of course, Claire and I did this kit together and here are her cards that she created! She is almost 6 years old and she enjoys Paper Pumpkin as much as I do! These kits are really amazing for all ages!

March Paper Pumpkin

Posted on

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a small box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc. The March Paper Pumpkin Kit was just beautiful and the cards have greetings that I can use right away!

March Paper Pumpkin 2024, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I think this card is my favorite from the Memorable Meadows March Kit because it shows off the beautiful flowers so well! The greeting is perfect for a #happymail card to send any time. Pop this card in the mail to a friend, a relative you haven’t seen in awhile, your mom, your co-worker, your neighbor. Just a little note to brighten someone’s day!!!

Memorable Meadows Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is super fabulous because honestly it could be for a man or a woman. That wooden accent really adds a fun element of texture without being bulky on the card! While the colors do include purple, it’s a beautiful sky/scenery look and I just love it!!! Plus you know how I feel about a scrolly font…..LOVING this one!!!

Heartfelt Thanks Paper Pumpkin Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I love this card too but honestly I was super sad to cover up so much of the scenery with the greeting and wooden element! It’s just so beautiful! It’s all good though! I use a lot of Thank You cards for my amazing customers so I’m sure this one will be used right away! Teacher Appreciation is also coming up soon and I have 3 teachers to spoil so this just might go to one of them!

Claire and I really enjoyed putting this March Paper Pumpkin kit together! I think she gets more excited about Paper Pumpkin arriving then me. It is always a wonderful time that I get to stamp with her. Keeping the mess somewhat to a minimum is nice since the kit comes with everything we need! Crafting with her is super special and something I look forward to! Be sure to sign up for the April Paper Pumpkin Kit so you can enjoy the fun craft either alone or with a friend or family member!

Sweet Springtime!!!

Posted on

The February Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Sweet Springtime and it was just that. Bunnies, flowers, Easter greetings, and a little chick just scream Spring and I love it!!! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a small box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc.

Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is sooooo cute! You could always change up the greeting if you don’t celebrate Easter! The bunnies are precious. I love how the die cut daffodils are layered over the top of printed daffodils for a really nice layered look. Add that thin white border was tricky since it’s really thin. The provided Glue Dots work best but you could always use your favorite liquid glue as well!

Ummmm….the cutest ever! I love this card! I was super bummed that the greeting went right over the yellow flowers (same at the top of the flower ring). Putting the greeting in a different spot went through my mind but I couldn’t find a place I liked the same. Oh well, it’s still so fabulous and it’s a fun slimline card!

Easter Bunny Treat Box, Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

The Sweet Springtime Kit included 3 each of the cards above as well as 3 of these little bunny boxes. They are like little milk cartons and perfect for adding a little treat in it for Easter or Spring! My biggest tip is to fold and burnish each of the score lines so it pops together super easy!

Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit!!!

Posted on

The January 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit came in HOT with this stunning Lovely Lavender Kit! I love the shades of purple and that purple foil is just amazing!!!

Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I love the purple foil trim on this card so much. Also the fun way the greenery and lavender pop through the cut out and feel so 3D makes me happy! As for the greeting, I really contemplated it. Anniversary cards are really lacking in my stash and I thought this would be perfect for that. Then I decided I didn’t want to get up and look for an Anniversary greeting AND why not make 4 Valentine’s Day cards. Valentine’s Day is a favorite of mine because I love sharing/showing my love. Sometimes I like to have a kit push me into making cards of a certain variety so that I send them out. So now I have 4 Valentine’s Day cards to send to those I love! ๐Ÿ™‚

January Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card would actually make a great Anniversary card! I loved the bouquet look with one stamped image and three die cut pieces. It is just stunning. I think I could have done without the twine and maybe added some bling but that’s my personal opinion. I love these cards!!!

BONUS Paper Pumpkin Tags, www.LaurasStampPad.com

BONUS: I didn’t even notice this at first glance. The popped out piece from the first card is actually made into a tag. How fabulous!?!?! I shared a few of these pieces with Claire so mine didn’t all look like the directions but that’s okay!

This Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the Mini Catalog!!! So if you are loving this, check out that Suite here!

All The Best – Paper Pumpkin!!!

Posted on

The December Paper Pumpkin Kit – All The Best was just that THE BEST! I absolutely love this kit! The blues and yellows together and the flowers make my heart happy. The fun greetings and font are perfect for many occasions! Then there is the gift box which is perfect for December!!!

All The Best Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I love all of these cards so much that I don’t think I can even rank them! The gold foil accents really make it POP! It takes it from a beautiful card to WOW, that’s stunning! The card above was super simple and my only tip is to make sure your flower has just 1 Stampin’ Dimensional on it. Also, be sure the placement of that Dimensional is on the left hand side so it nooks into the greeting without being doubled up!

Hello Friend Greeting Card, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is perfect to have on hand for any occasion or for when you need to send a card just because you thought of someone! Do you send cards like that?!? Randomly think of your Great Aunt and just pull out a card and send it to her to brighten her day?! I try to but don’t get it done as often as I would like because the kids or something tend to distract me and then I forget. On this card, I actually didn’t read the instructions. SHOCK! I popped up the circle greeting and then struggled with placement of adhesive to attach the flowers. If you put the greeting on flat and then pop up the flowers, it would be much easier! ๐Ÿ™‚

December 2023 Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card has LOTS of gold foil and I love it! Then that POP of yellow. I love it! It’s like a black and white photo with one item in the photo colored! Also, it just needed like 3-4 Stampin’ Dimensionals on the big spots of the flower and then the stem is held with the greeting! We also can’t forget to shout out those stunning envelopes!

Acetate Gift Box Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This kit also came with an acetate box so you can package up some cards and give them as a gift. The timing for this is PERFECT! Have a friend stopping by? Have a party you are attending and want a little something for the hostess? Grabbing coffee with a friend? Take this little box of cards as a gift and you are sure to bring a smile to their face!

Warmest Wishes Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Posted on

The November 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Warmest Wishes contained little glittered winter houses that are to be used as treat packaging! They are so shiny and cute!!!

Warmest Wishes Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

The glittered snow really doesn’t show up in these photos and that makes me sad. The kit comes with the houses having the glitter on them already which is even better. YAH! Safe glitter! All you have to do is fold on the score lines, add wreaths with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the twine and tag! The kit also includes cellophane bags and wreath stickers to seal them closed. It is just sooooo cute!

My plan with this kit each year is to use it for neighbor gifts! I make Saltine Toffee and bag it up. We walk up and down the street dropping it off on porches for our neighbors! I do have a small problem with this Warmest Wishes Kit…..it’s too little! I could give everyone like 1 bite of the toffee but that is no fun! Soooooo I cut the houses into two. First, I cut the top at the roof and then I cut the bottom flap off so it’s just the front and back of the house. Next, I took the Very Best Trio Punch and added a little hole for ribbon at the top! Now I have a tag to attach to a bag of toffee! PERFECT! Also, since I cut them into 2, I now have twice as many!!! YAH!
